J_MeasureCurve¶

Measure distance on a curve

Measure a distance and add an annotation to the model with the result of the operation.

Find it in: JPattern Design toolbar

Steps¶

1. Select the curve to measure
2. Select the first point on the curve to start the measurement
3. You can enter a value to have a preview of two points at that given distance from the one you picked
4. Select the end point of the measurement on the curve

Remarks¶

All the added measurements will use the same units of the current model. Units can be found in the options in the "Document Properties" tab, under the "Units" page.

J_MeasureDistance¶

Measure the distance between two arbitrary points

This command measure the distance between two arbitrary points, which can also be picked with the help of Rhino Object Snaps.

Find it in: JPattern Design toolbar

Steps¶

1. Start the command
2. Pick the first point P1
3. Move around the mouse to pick the second point P2; while moving around, an overlay text shows the current distance from the first point (and a relative distance along the X and Y directions). In addition, the tooltip also provides information about the angle that the line P1-P2 is determining with the horizontal X axis

Once the second point is confirmed, the final measurments (distance and relative X/Y shifts) are printed on the command line.

Remarks¶

All the measurements are expressed in the current model's units.
